I have to give it to our you all… We might be the new kids on the block in the world of horror reporting, but we have one amazing fanbase. Just last week we participated in a Twitter contest hosted by Magnet Releasing. They put out a call to action to horror websites to get them some followers on Twitter. The winning website who brought them the most follows would win the exclusive privilege of premiering four very cool retro styled alternative posters for The House of the Devil. Folks, we killed the contest. Even better than winning the exclusive? We won a TON of free giveaway’s for you, the very folks who helped get us there. So a very sincere thank you to everyone who helped participate. We went up against some very big and well known websites and brand names in the world of horror and came out on top because of you.

Now if you’ve been hiding under a rock and aren’t familiar with what this flick is all about, let’s drop some knowledge on you. The official synopsis from Magnet Releasing:

From writer-director Ti West comes THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, a satanic thriller set in the 1980s starring Jocelin Donahue (JT Petty’s forthcoming THE BURROWERS), indie ingénue Greta Gerwig (HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, BAGHEAD), Tom Noonan (SNOW ANGELS, MANHUNTER), Mary Woronov (EATING RAOUL, THE DEVIL’S REJECTS), AJ Bowen (THE SIGNAL) and Dee Wallace (E.T., Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN).

Sam (Donahue) is a pretty college sophomore, so desperate to earn some cash for a deposit on an apartment that she accepts a babysitting job even after she finds out there is no baby. Mr. and Mrs. Ulman (cult actors Noonan and Woronov) are the older couple who lure Sam out to their creeky Victorian mansion deep in the woods, just in time for a total lunar eclipse. Megan (Gerwig) is Sam’s best friend, who gives her a ride out to the house, and reluctantly leaves her there despite suspecting that something is amiss. Victor (Bowen) at first seems like just a creepy guy lurking around the house, but quickly makes it clear that Sam will end this night in a bloody fight for her life….

The House of the Devil premieres on VOD, Amazon and Xbox Live on 10/1 and In Theatres Halloween. Website - http://www.houseofthedevilmovie.com/
